Something is bugging me… Jul 01

Please someone help me answer some things… this isreally bugging me.

First some the facts:
The earthquake in Japan was “upgraded” to a 9.4, which means it was stronger than the one in Chile. When the Tsunami arrived after the earthquake, there was hardly any damage to anything before the water hit. In fact, in any of the photos or videos it appears as if nothing has happened at all, and the people are just living their lives as usual – absolutely not like you would expect people to act after a 9.4 earthquake hit. So…

HOW is this possible that even wooden houses are still standing undamaged, and why was the Earthquake upgraded from a worldwide registered 7.2 to a 9.4?

Initial quake was reported as a 7.2, epicenter in/near Tohoku — this is what Japanese on the street were reading on their cell phones just after the event, this was Richter. Within 24 hours the magnitude was increased to 8.8, 8.9, 9.0….and, it seemed the epicenter was under debate… The first magnitude and epicenter are calculated by computer. These are in fact always correct, unless there is a political need to move the “epicenter” and increase the magnitude, in this case by about 100X and 85 miles.” – Jim Stone

Why did the Hydrogen Stacks in the Fukushima plant, which were installed after the 3 mile accident and which need no electricity to function and which were still undamaged after reactor 3 and 4 exploded, why did these not do their job and vented any possible hydrogen buildup before any explosion could have occured?

How did the fuel rods of the idle reactor 4 manage to heat up the water of the open air cooling pool to over 2000 degrees Celsius (the temperature necessary for water to release hydrogen, and only possible under high pressure) without the water evaporating long before ever reaching that temperature?

And as a follow up to the previous one: If that was not possible, how did the building of reactor 4 actually explode?

As beautiful as it is, this video drove tears into my eyes. What a wonderful and disturbing story…

Awesome song about the government and large cooperations conspiring against the people, using the case where the FDA aided Bayer in selling an HIV infected drug overseas and get away with it in the US as an example of such outrageous and ongoing conspiracy facts.

Bisphenol-A now linked to male infertility, causing cancer, and proven to derail early cell development Jun 24

You may never have heard of a chemical called bisphenol A (BPA), but odds are it’s circulating in your body. It was in 93 percent of 2,517 Americans age 6 and over, tested by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a study that was recently released.

In Thailand 100% of all plastic used in food packaging contains BPA unless labeled as BPA free. In the US it is also still widely used while Canada already declared it as toxic, in Europe it has been banned this year. If you got a kid and it drinks from the bottle, make sure it is a BPA free bottle.

Stay far away from any coffee in a can, those have insane amounts of BPA in the drink. In fact ALL drinks and food will be BPA polluted if they were packed in plastic or a container with a plastic lining. I gathers some info, but this really only scratches the surface.

Note for people in Thailand: NEVER buy hot food in plastic bags, as heat literally sucks the BPA out from the plastic which ends up in the food. Also, request the glass bottle when buying a coke, instead of being given a plastic bag with ice and the drink poured into it. stay far away from these big white water containers they deliver to your home, as they sit in the sun and get scratched up a lot, so the water in them is loaded with BPA. DO NOT refill plastic bottles that were meant for 1 time use, ever…

I suggest not using plastic as a container for any type of food or drink, if you are not 100% sure that it is BPA free plastic.

Bisphenol-A (BPA), known as the “gender bending” chemical because of its connection to male impotence, has now been shown to decrease sperm mobility and quality.
The findings are likely to increase pressure on governments around the world to follow Canada and ban the substance from our shelves.
BPA is used widely to make plastic harder and watertight tin cans.
It is found in most food and drink cans – including tins of infant formula milk – plastic food containers, and the casings of mobile phones, and other electronic goods.

The Telegraph (UK) – “Bisphenol-A now linked to male infertility”

Roughly 95 percent of all baby bottles currently on the market are made of polycarbonate. As the poly in polycarbonate implies, this plastic is a polymer-a chainlike molecule constructed by linking up individual units of a common chemical. In this case, each link is a molecule of bisphenol A.

Pollutants that emulate hormones – especially estrogen, as bisphenol A does – have emerged in recent years as a major environmental concern. Animal studies suggest they might increase an individual’s likelihood of developing certain cancers. During development, exposure to these environmental hormones also risks disrupting the normal growth and function of reproductive tissues and the brain.

For new baby bottles, the water picked up between 1 and 3.5 parts per billion (ppb) bisphenol A. Water heated in used but relatively clear bottles sometimes picked up as much as 6.5 ppb. Water in very worn and heavily scratched bottles acquired between 10 and 28 ppb of the compound.

[A] …Japanese study also looked at bisphenol-A migration from the resin used to line food cans. In Japan, vending machines dispense tea and coffee. Arizono explains that these canned drinks have become the Japanese snack-drink corollary to Coke and Pepsi in the United States. Though soft drinks stored in plastic-lined cans picked up less than 1 ppb of bisphenol A, oolong tea acquired at least 7 ppb, and coffee a whopping 90 to 127 ppb.

The Symphony of Science Jun 13

The Symphony of Science is a musical project headed by John Boswell, designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form. Here you can watch music videos, download songs, read lyrics and find links relating to the messages conveyed by the music. The project owes its existence in large measure to the classic PBS Series Cosmos, by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steve Soter, as well as all the other featured figures and visuals.

LeCig – Smokeless cigarettes that smoke… Jun 07

LeCig performs similarly to traditional smoking. It looks, feels and tastes like a cigarette. The non-flammable Electronic Cigarette is smokeless and is driven by modern microelectronic technology. There is a small rechargeable battery and a unique replaceable cartomizer cartridge that contains only water, propylene glycol, nicotine, and aromas. When using the Electronic Cigarette, the act of inhaling or smoking it, produces the tactile and craving satisfactions that traditional smokers seek (i.e.; hand to mouth oral fixation and nicotine) and triggers a vaporizing process that releases a simulated smoke that is actually a vapor mist that evaporates into the air within a few seconds. Thus, giving you all the benefits of smoking without all the hazards.

Charlotte Iserbyt: The Miseducation of America Jun 06

Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt served as the head of policy at the Department of Education during the first administration of Ronald Reagan. While working there she discovered a long term strategic plan by the tax exempt foundations to transform America from a nation of rugged individualists and problem solvers to a country of servile, brainwashed minions who simply regurgitate whatever they’re told.

Armchair astronaut discovers ‘space station’ on Mars Jun 06

‘It’s very unusual in that it’s quite large, it’s over 700 feet long and 150 feet wide, it looks like it’s a cylinder or made up of cylinders.

The infamous ‘Face on Mars’ image from 1976 caused a huge stir when it was released

‘It could be a power station or it could be a biological containment or it could be a glorified garage – hope it’s not a weapon.

‘Whoever put it up there had a purpose I’m sure. I couldn’t imagine what the purpose was. I couldn’t imagine why anybody would want to live on Mars.
